The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The fire that now burns my spirit

                        Then happy in my own world,
            before you proposed your silly love to me.
Like a hot magma landing on a still sea water;
you blow open my brain to take away my thoughts;
                        that made me meander with madness.
Before too long you started your hide and seek games,
when you knew too well my heart is very fragile.
      Just a little spark you ended dimming my shining sunlight.
            You have now shattered my heart into pieces.
                        The sky of my hope collapsed; 
the stars, the moon and the clouds have all disappeared.
            Even the ground could no longer hold firm my stands.
      I am now deep into drugs;
                        that's the fire that now burns my spirit.
